As part of his administration’s effort to ensure
free vehicular movement in Oyo State, outgoing Governor Adebayo
Alao-Akala, on Wednesday inaugurated operational vehicles procured by
his administration for the use of the state Road Traffic Management
Authority.
Alao-Akala, shortly after reviewing the passing out parade of the newly-trained traffic officers at the Police Training School Ground, Police Headquarters, Eleyele, Ibadan charged them to conduct themselves in a disciplined manner before members of the public.
He also urged them not to engage in extorting money or receiving bribe from the people.
He further admonished the officers to see their employment as an opportunity to contribute their quota to the development of Oyo State in the area of road traffic management and prevention of accidents on the highways.
The governor also enjoined them to be friendly to members of the public and be fair to all in their judgment. He said they should be prepared to serve in any part of the state where their services are required.
Alao-Akala expressed the confidence that with the rigorous training they had received, they would perform their duties effectively and creditably.
Operational equipment provided by the government to aid the performance of the traffic officers included nine towing trucks, eight Hilux pick up patrol vehicles, two buses and eight motorcycles.
Meanwhile, the Chairman of the 30-man transition committee set up by the Oyo State Governor-elect, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, Dr. Busari Adebisi, has accused the outgoing administration in the state of not cooperating with the committee to ensure a hitch-free transition.
Adebisi made the allegation at a press conference in Ibadan, the state capital, on Wednesday.
He said the administration had been withholding information critical to the transition from his committee.
He said when his committee raised the issue with the transition committee set up by the state government, the chairman who is also the state Head of Service, Alhaji Tajudeen Aremu, said he did not have the governor’s mandate to make such information available.
Based on Aremu’s advice, Adebisi said his committee wrote to the outgoing government, stating the documents needed.
He added that the HOS later replied that the outgoing governor did not approve the request.
He said that the implication is that it would be tedious for Ajimobi to be abreast with the present situation of the state by the time he takes over on May 29.
